Minimum Charges

All projects are subject to our minimum invoice policy of £100.

All scenes/shots/stills submitted to render will be invoiced at £25 or above (inclusive of render fees).

Discounts

All of our price plans offer a number of available discounts.

Automatic Volume Discounts

Based on the size of your project, we will automatically apply a discount to the cost, as shown below.

Project > £400

Project > £800

Project > £2,000

Project > £8,000

Project > £ 10,000

Low Priority Discount

In addition to our automatically applied volume discount, you can also benefit from a further discount if you have an extended deadline.

Additional Pre-Payment Discount

We offer the facility to pre-pay for credit to be used for rendering, with the incentive of further discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Render Compute Unit (RCU)?

To make it easy to compare CPU capacity between different render slave types we have defined a Render Compute Unit. This provides a relative measure of the integer processing power of each slave type, based on real work rendering benchmarks.

Why not use GHz-Hours like some other render farms?

A “GHz-Hour” isn’t a standardised benchmark and can be misleading when used to make comparisons.

Not all GHz-Hour are equal, as processor “GHz” isn’t the only variable in render speed (network, fileserver and local drive performance are also important factors). To illustrate this, an alternate render farm service provider estimates that 1-hour of rendering on our RS1 slave (20RCU, and total processor of 20GHz) as being equivalent to 24.8 chargeable GHz-Hours on their farm.

For this reason, and to be totally transparent, we’ve chosen to show an actual performance comparison of our hardware, based on our real-world render performance.

Can I transfer my pre-paid credit from High Priority to Low Priority and vice versa?

Yes of course. Simply ensure you make it clear that you want to do this before we start to render.
